This new edition of Emmett includes a Prologue with 2 important documents: 'Commemoration of the 70th Anniversary of Emmett’s Lynching' and 'Professor Seeks to Make Film About Lawyer Who Defended the Racist Murderers,' in The Chronical of Higher Education (5/30/2003). Also, included are 2 Indexes: 'The Unearthing of Emmett Till' and 'The Legacy of Emmett Louis Till.' The basis of materials herein is Clenora’s 1988 Ford doctoral dissertation, the 1st to establish Till as catalyst, published in 1994 as Emmett Till: The Sacrificial Lamb of the CRM. Here, she shows how his death impacted many, i.e. Mamie, his mom, who dedicated her life to changing racist minds & laws in America via God’s guidance, and Rayfield Mooty, Civil Rights activist & Labor Union leader, who was Mamie’s chief advisor. In Emmett, she gives a new twist on the story: John Whitten Jr, the attorney for the murderers, who later regretted his role in the trial, spending his life defending Blacks in MS pro bono-indeed, a key step for racial healing via God’s mercy. The fervent prayers of Till’s mother, Mamie Till Mobley, for everlasting justice and transcendent mercy have been finally answered through this gripping narrative by Dr. Clenora Hudson (Weems). Emmett speaks eternal truth to power. -Dr. Benjamin F. Chavis, Jr.--Pres. & CEO, National Newspaper Publishers Assoc. (NNPA) The 1st institution for the human being is the family unit, systemically devastated for Blacks, which is the root cause of our inability to end racial dominance. To achieve this, we must all work together, indeed, a major element in Emmett, wherein the child of the CRM is the center of the narrative. A must read! -Zakiya Sankara-Jabar--Co-Founder & Co-Executive Director, Racial Justice NOW In Emmett, Clenora gives us all we need to advance to positive 21st century race relations, which could greatly curtain racial domination, escalating to racial healing. An international cause célèbre, coming on the heels of The Butler, 12 Years a Slave and Selma, Emmett no doubt is both timely and urgent -Barry Morrow--Oscar Award Winning Co-Writer of Rain Man & Producer
